Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing and tram ride to Sultanahmet. This option can take 2+ hours depending on connections and typically involves managing luggage through crowded public spaces.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout the city. While budget-friendly, the journey time is unpredictable and can extend significantly due to other passenger drop-offs. Limited luggage space and fixed departure times may not suit all travelers' needs.

Taxi Service

Regular taxis are available but may struggle with finding the exact hotel location in Sultanahmet's narrow historic streets. Prices can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and route choice. During peak hours, the journey can become quite expensive due to common traffic congestion on the bridge crossing.
